I was a fat teenager (BMI 36-37), up and down in my 20s (tho never back to that level of obese, mostly hovered around BMI 26-27)
I've tried maintaining once before, when I hit roughly the same weight I'm at now (53-55kg depending on the day, at 159.5cm), and then had dental issues and lost down to 48kg. Then I gained almost 20kg (could finally eat again once the pain was gone + I was under a lot of stress and constantly sick so my workout routine also mostly disappeared)... and. yeah. I then more or less maintained that "a few kg overweight but not obese" range for 6 or 7 years.
Anyway. This time I first chose 56-57kg as my goal (22.2 BMI) ... I got there and I wasn't happy with my body fat % so I kept working out, after another 3 months I hit just over 53kg (21.1 BMI)... I've since then tried to switch to maintaining but I'm struggling not going massively over or under my goals and I'm all over the place... But fingers crossed I figure it out soon. Because of the pandemic and the shutdown (no busses) I'm currently walking 2+h a day to get to work and it's really messing with my appetite, since I'm also still working out
Another thing is - what even are realistic goals to have? I have very small hands and wrists, but the rest of me I think looks more on the chubby side vs thin (I'm pear shaped, but still)... How much visible bone, fat and muscle definition is normal/expected when in the normal weight range? I'm trying to figure out if it's just that my brain is still not fully adjusted to the weight loss or if I do have more weight left to lose
Fwiw tho I think I do have a decent (tho not amazing) amount of muscle, but also some loose skin
